LOU REED grab� el �lbum "Berl�n" en 1973.

Fue un fracaso comercial.

Durante los siguientes 23 a�os, nunca toc� en vivo ese �lbum.

Por cinco noches, en diciembre del 2006 en St. Ann"s Warehouse Brooklyn,

Lou Reed toc� su obra maestra acerca del lado oscuro del amor:

los celos, la ira y la p�rdida"". Julian Schnabel - 23 de abril, 2007

Gracias.

Quisiera saludar a la madre de Lou,

que se halla entre la audiencia. Hola, Toby.

Y a su hermana Meryl, dondequiera que te encuentres.

Tienes un lindo "Yiddishe kup" ah�.

Si fuera mi hijo estar�a muy orgulloso de �l.

Escuch� este disco mucho antes de que Lou y yo nos conoci�ramos,

y sent� que era la banda de sonido para gran parte de mi vida.

Me siento orgulloso y bendecido de conocer a Lou,

y honrado de hacer este trabajo con �l,

junto a mi hija Lola y a los amigos de Lou.

As� que por favor, apaguen sus tel�fonos celulares,

y pasen un buen rato.

�Olvide mencionar algo, Lou?

�No!

Sad song...

Sad song.

Happy birthday to you!

Happy birthday, Caroline

Happy birthday to you!

In Berlin

By the wall

You were 5�10" tall

It was very nice

Candlelight and Dubonnet on ice

We were in a small cafe

You could hear the guitars play

It was very nice

Oh, honey

It was paradise.

When she walked on down the street

She�s like a child staring at her feet

But when she passed the bar

And she heard the music play

She had to go in and sing

It had to be that way

She had to go in and sing

It had to be that way

And I said, "No no no!

Oh, Lady Day!"

I said, "No no no!

Oh, Lady Day!"

After the applause

Had died down

And the people drifted away

She climbed down off the bar

And went out the door

To the hotel

That she called home

It had greenish walls

A bathroom in the hall

And I said, "No no no!

Oh, Lady Day!"

I said, "No no no!

Oh, Lady Day!"

No no no!

Men of good fortune

Often cause empires to fall

While men of poor beginnings

Often can�t do anything at all

The rich son waits for his father to die

The poor just drink and cry

And me

I just don�t care at all

Men of good fortune

Very often can�t do a thing

While men of poor beginnings

Often can do anything

At heart they try to

Act like a man!

Handle the things

Best way they can

They got no rich daddy

To fall back on

Men of good fortune

Men of poor beginnings

Men of good fortune

Men of poor beginnings

Men of good fortune

Often cause empires to fall

While men of poor beginnings

Often can�t do anything at all

It takes money to make money, they say!

Look at the Fords

Didn�t they start that way?

Anyway!

It makes no difference to me

Men of good fortune

Men of poor beginnings

Men of good fortune

Men of poor beginnings

Men of good fortune

Often wish that they could die

While men of poor beginnings

Want what they have

To get it, they�ll die!

All the great things that life�s got to give

They wanna have money and live

But me

I...

Don�t care at all

Men of good fortune

Men of poor beginnings

Men of good fortune

Men of poor beginnings

Caroline says that I�m just a toy

She wants a man, not just a boy

Oh, Caroline says

Ahh, Caroline says

Caroline says she can�t help but be mean

Or cruel

Or, oh, so it seems

Caroline says

Ahh, Caroline says

She says she doesn�t want a man who leans

Still she is my Germanic queen

Queen...

She�s my queen

The things she does, the things she says

People shouldn�t treat others that way

But at first I thought I could take it all

Just like poison in a vial

She was often very vile

But of course I thought that I could take it all

Caroline says that I�m not a man

She�ll go get it and catch it catch can

Oh, Caroline says

Caroline says

Caroline says moments in time

Can�t continue to be only mine

Oh, Caroline says

Ahhhh, Caroline said

She treats me like I�m a fucking fool!

But to me she�s still a German queen...

Queen

Queen...

How do you think it feels

When you�re speeding and lonely?

How do you think it feels

When all you can say is "if only"?

If only I had a little

If only I had some change

If only, if only, if only

How do you think it feels

And when do you think it stops?

How do you think it feels?

When do you think it stops?

How do you think it feels

When you�ve been up for five days?

Hunting around always

�Cause you�re afraid of sleeping

How do you think it feels

To feel like a wolf and foxy?

How do you think it feels

To always make love by proxy?

How do you think that feels?

And when do you think it stops?

When do you think it stops?

All your two-bit friends

They�re shootin� you up with pills

They said that it was good for you

Would cure your ills

I don�t care just where it�s at

I�m just like an alley cat

And when you�re

Filled up to here with hate

Don�t you know you gotta

Gotta gotta get it- get it straight?

Filled up to here with hate

Beat her black and blue and, baby, get it straight

When you�re lookin� through the eyes of hate...

�Hazlo de nuevo!

�Cielo santo!

All your two-bit friends

They asked you for your autograph

They put you on the stage

They thought, "Hey, baby, it�s good for a laugh"

I don�t care just where it�s at

�Cause, honey, I�m just like an alley cat

And when you�re filled up to here with hate

Don�t you know you gotta get it straight?

Filled up to here with hate

Beat her black and blue and get it straight

When you�re looking through the eyes of hate

Whoa whoa whoa

When you�re looking through the eyes of it-

Sharon! Whoa whoa whoa

Whoa whoa whoa

When you�re looking through the eyes of hate

Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa

Whoa whoa whoa

Oh, Jim

How could you treat me this way?

Hey hey

How could you treat me this way?

Oh, Jim!

How could you treat me this way?

Hey hey

How could you treat me this way?

You know you broke my heart

Ever since you went away

Now you said that you loved us

You only made love to one of us

Whoa whoa whoa whoa, Jim!

How could you treat me this way?

Hey hey

You know you broke my heart

Ever since you went away

When you�re looking through the eyes of hate

Ah, looking through the eyes of hate

When you�re looking through eyes of hate

When you�re looking through the eyes of hate.

Caroline says

As she gets up off the floor

"Why is it...

That you beat me? It isn�t any fun"

Caroline says

As she makes up her eye

"You ought to learn more about yourself

You oughta think more than just "I"

She�s...

Not afraid to die

All of her friends

Call her Alaska when she takes speed

They laugh and ask her

What is in her mind

What is in her mind?

Caroline says

As she gets up from the floor

"You can hit me all that you want to

But I don�t love you anymore"

Caroline says

While biting her lip

"Life�s meant to be more than this

And this is a...

A bum trip"

She�s...

Not afraid to die

All of her friends

Ahhh

Call her Alaska

When she takes speed

They laugh and they ask her

What is in her mind

What is in her mind?

She put her fist

Through the windowpane

It was such a funny feeling

It�s so cold

In Alaska

It�s so cold in Alaska

It�s so cold

In Alaska

It�s so cold.

They�re taking her children away

Because they said she�s not a good mother

They�re taking her children away

Because she was making it with sisters and brothers

And everyone else, all the others

Like the cheap officers, they�d stand there

And flirt in front of me

They�re taking her children away

Because they said she�s not a good mother

They�re taking her children away

Because of the things that they heard she had done

The black air-force sergeant

Was not the first one

And all of the drugs

She took every one

Every one

And I am the waterboy

The real game�s not over here

But my heart is overflowin�

Anyway

I�m just a tired man

No words to say

Ahh, since she lost her daughter

It�s her eyes

That fill with water

And me

I am much happier this way

They�re taking her children away

Because they said

She�s not a good mother

They�re taking her children away

Because, number one

The girlfriend from Paris

And the things that they did

Aw, man, you didn�t have to ask us

And then the Welshman from India

Who came here to stay

They�re taking her children away

Because they said she�s not a good mother

They�re taking her children away

Because of the things she did in the streets

In the alleys and the bars

She couldn�t be beat, that miserable rotten slut

She couldn�t turn anyone away

And I? I�m the waterboy

Mommy! Mommy!

Mommy, Mommy! Mommy!

And I am the waterboy

The real game�s not over here

But my heart is overflowin�

Anyway

I�m just a tired man

No words to say

But since she lost her daughter

It�s her eyes

That fill with water

And me

I�m much happier this way.

This is the place

Where she lay her head

When she went to bed at night

And this is the place where our children were conceived

Candles lit the room at night

And this is the place where she cut her wrists

That odd and fateful night

And I said

"Oh oh oh oh oh oh

What a feeling"

And I said

"Oh oh oh oh oh oh

What a feeling"

Oh oh oh oh oh oh

What a feeling

Oh oh oh oh oh oh

What a feeling

This is the place where we used to live

I paid for it with love and blood

And these are the boxes she kept on the shelf

Filled with her-

Her poetry and her stuff

And this is the room where she took the razor

And cut her wrists that strange and fateful night

And I said

"Oh oh oh oh oh oh

What a feeling"

And I said, "Oh oh oh oh

What a feeling"

I never should have started

If I�d known it�d end this way

But funny thing

I�m not at all sad...

That it stopped this way

This is the place where she lay her head

When she went to bed at night

And this is the place our children were conceived

Candles lit the room brightly at night

And this is the place where she cut her wrists

That odd and fateful night

And I said

"Oh oh oh oh oh oh

What a feeling"

And I said

"Oh oh oh oh oh oh

What a feeling"

Oh, so cold, oh, so cold

Oh, so cold

Oh, so cold.

Staring at my picture book

She looks like Mary, Queen of Scots

She seemed very regal to me

Just goes to show how wrong you can be

I�m gonna stop

Wasting my time

Somebody else

Would have broken both of her arms

- Sad song - Sad song...

My castle, kids and home

I thought she was Mary, Queen of Scots

I tried so very hard

Shows just how wrong you can be

I�m gonna stop

Wasting my time

Somebody else

Would have broken

Both of her arms

- Sad song - Sad song...

Sad song...

Candy says

I�ve come to hate my body

And all it requires

In this world

And Candy says

I�d like to know completely

What others so discreetly

Talk about

I�m going to watch

The bluebirds fly

Over my shoulder, I�m...

I�m going to watch them pass me by

Maybe, baby, when I�m older

What do you think I�d see

If I could walk away from me?

Candy says

And I hate those quiet places

That cause the smallest taste

Of what will be

Candy says

I hate those big decisions

That cause endless revisions

In my mind

Lou: I�m going to watch

The bluebirds fly

Over my shoulder

I�m going to watch them pass me by

Maybe when I�m older

What do you think I�d see

If I could walk away from me?

- Over my shoulder - Oooh

Maybe when I�m older

Antony!

Esto se titula el "Minueto Rock".

Paralyzed by hatred

And a piss-ugly soul

If he murdered the old man

He thought he�d become whole

While listening at night

To an old radio

Where they danced to the rock minuet

In the gay bars

At the back of the bar

He consummated hatred

On a cold sawdust floor

While the jukebox played backbeats

Sniffing coke off a jar

While they danced to a rock minuet

School was a waste

He was meant for the street, but...

School was the only way

That the army could be beat

The two whores sucked his nipples

Till he came on their feet

As they danced to the rock minuet

He dreamt that the old man was sunk to his knees

The leather belt tied so tight that it was hard to breathe

And the studs from his jacket were as cold

As a breeze

As they danced to a rock minuet

He pictured the bedroom

Where he heard the first cry

Mama on all fours

With his daddy behind

And her yell hurt so much, he had wished he�d gone blind

And rocked to a rock minuet

Go!

In the back of the warehouse were a couple of guys

They had tied someone up and sewn up his eyes

And he got so excited, he came on his thighs

While they danced to the rock minuet

On Avenue B someone cruised him one night

He took him in an alley and then pulled a knife

And he thought of the old man as he cut his windpipe

And finally danced to the rock minuet

In the curse of the alley

The thrill of the streets

On the bitter cold docks

Where the outlaws all meet in euphoria drug

In euphoria heat

You could dance to the rock minuet

In the thrill of the needle

And anonymous sex

You could dance to a rock minuet

So when you dance hard

Slow dancing, when you dance hard

Slow dancing, when you dance hard

Slow dancing, when you dance to a rock minuet.

Standing on the corner

Suitcase in my hand

Jack is in his corset and Jane�s in her vest, baby

Me, I�m in a rock �n� roll band!

Ridin� a Stutz Bearcat

Those were different times

The poets studied rules of verse

The ladies rolled their eyes

You know what they�re saying

Sweet Jane

Oh, sweet Jane

Sweet Jane

Now Jack, he is a banker

And Jane, she is a clerk

Both them save their monies, honeys

And when they come home from work, ah

Sittin� here by the fire

The radio, it does play

A little classical music

"The March of the Wooden Soldiers"

You could hear Jack say, he says, "Jane!"

Oh now, baby! Sweet Jane

Oh-a, sweet Jane

Some people like to go out dancing

Then there�s other people, baby, they got to work

You better watch me now

There�s some evil mothers

They�ll just tell you that life is just made outta dirt

The pretty women, baby, never really faint

And villains always blink their eyes

The children are the only ones who blush

That life- life! That life is just to die

But I wanna tell you something

Anyone who had a heart

They wouldn�t turn around and break it

And anyone who has ever played a part

They wouldn�t turn around and hate it

They�d say, "Jane!"

Sweet Jane

Whoa-oh-oh, Jane

Sweet Jane.
